Vaporization is a transitional phase of an element or compound from a solid phase or liquid phase to a gas phase while evaporation is a type of vaporization wherein the transition from a liquid phase to a gas phase takes place below the boiling temperature at a given pressure, and it occurs on the surface.

Vaporization occurs at liquid's boiling point but evaporation occurs at all temperature !!

Like for vapourization of water you need 100°C but for evaporation you dont need that temp as you see in the ocean !! The water evaporates but it does not need 100°
